The Kiehl’s 28 day challenge with Beauty Bulletin – First Impression

Today I received my much anticipated package from Beauty Bulletin, 5 Kiehl’s products that promises to change my skin within 28 days. Let me say that again – Twenty-eight days!

When I read that Beauty Bulletin was searching for beauty influencers to take up the challenge, I absolutely had to enter because nothing works on my skin. Let me explain –

I’ve been blessed with problem free skin all through my teens and early 20’s. At 27 I fell pregnant and I’ve been suffering with skin issues ever since. I wouldn’t exactly call it adult acne, but my skin is patchy, I experience breakouts and I definitely have dark spot or discolouration issues. That’s the reason I don’t go anywhere without my foundation or at least a bit of bronzer.

Beauty Bulletin have requested that I take a few no makeup selfies and I am not going to lie to you, it wasn’t easy. I made a promise to myself that I will always be truthful to you so here goes. This is my skin, perfectly imperfect as I always say:

The struggle is really real

Note the patchiness just below my hairline.

There you have it, @themandyex in her true form – pigmentation, big pores, dark circles around the eyes, you name it, it’s there. Sheesh, I feel like Alicia Keys right now. This is kinda liberating!

Behold the holy grail products that are meant to be changing my skin within 28 days:

The Kiehl’s high 5 products include:

Dermatologist Solutions™ Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing

Dermatologist Solutions™ Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution

Ultra Facial Moisturizing Cream

Creamy Eye Treatment with Avo

Midnight Recovery Concentrate

When I first saw the packaging I thought “Wow, Kiehl’s mean business.” These products are not wrapped in pretty boxes to lure you into buying them, in fact they look almost medicinal. Now I don’t know about you, but that in itself makes me believe that these products could actually work on my skin!

To follow my expedition to fabulous skin, please join me on Instagram and my Facebook page. I will be using #changeyourskin and #high5togreatskin. Who knows, I may even throw in a video or Snapchat to document it all.
